IM Russsian . i still use my car aston martin model DB II (11) in Thailand with its song , but im old men ))))) hihihi if i crazy start. i have family rus . but i like. this song
Good God. Hard to believe it's 34 (now 36 almost) years ago. I recall that this song took off like a rocket in 1986, and felt kind of like a standard all by itself. And oh yes. Any guess as to which "garment" that might have been, aimed so perfectly for such a soft landing precisely on that mic stand? The heavenly bliss of live.
1:02-1:04 Get a load of bassist Michael Steele’s reaction while singing her verse after someone throws a garment from the audience onto her mic stand. And she doesn’t miss a beat. Priceless! 🤣 A true professional. Love her! 😃
Man I miss the days when you could lean on the stage watching your favorite bands. Rock and roll has become way too structured, I would go back to the 80s in a second.
Probably the best female rock group of all time. They all sing and play their own instruments. To this day as seniors they still look pretty wear mini skirts and sound great.
God did i have a crush on Vicki and her cute little red gogo dress with fishnets and clunky boots. Her energy running around with that giuitar - mad crush for her at 17. Shes still beautiful
personally i'd prefer to see the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, or Lynard Skynard at the Oakland Coliseum, Queen at Live Aid, Early AC/DC anywhere frankly, Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park, The Stones in Hyde Park, Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight festival or U2 at Red Rocks. But yeah, these girls rocked it pretty hard for a while..
you both in my opinion are so on the reality of what makes or breaks artistic careers in the past, the relationship between the members was almost always like a glue holding everything together in almost every rock , blues , country possibly a few other genre of musical but in the past. The music and similar arts have changed over some past years and now it has hardly any resemblance with what I learned and worked with in my younger years. The industry has been raped by greedy reps, past talent buyers who could demand anything from whoever came to them looking for a hook , that doesn’t even start to talk about the requirements almost every female that was just understood in the musical , acting , higher end service providers of both services and goods directly involved, etc, etc ! I have been directly involved with music and the music industry since I was around 11-12 years old. I started when I was really young picking up beer bottles after the show or thhe next day if the venue wasn’t booked . I met Sue through a girl who I met when she was in “The Runaways” , that past lady friend has since been married and doing great without being involved with some people thhat most likely will never have a chance to go anywhere . However Sue said a couple weeks ago she still has me near the top of the assistants phone list
This song illustrates one of the Bangles most, IMO, underappreciated strengths. Yes, Susanna became sort of the "face" of the Bangles later, but any one of them could lead a song and the others would provide perfect, harmonious backing vocals. Even though Debbie doesn't get to sing on this one, the lead going between the other three demonstrates it.
Never gonna happen... Females don't play musical instruments these days anymore like this, would be near impossible for 3 or 4 girls who can jam to even be friends and know each other, let alone come together and form a band or even be successful... Hell men don't even really play anymore its sad... Unfortunately its not about the music, talent, creativity or self expression...its ONLY about selling records and greedy dollar bills...
@:... yes... yes we do. If you don't like this... don't listen! If you prefer TODAYS GIRL singers (Justin beiber, Katy Perry, camilla cabello, one direction, drake, Rihanna, usher, that sort of thing) then go and listen to them. But don't click on a song/artist you don't like, put yourself through listening to their stuff you don't like, then compound your very public stupidity further, by making a twat of yourself in the comments section... that's just asking for ridicule. Still, my hopes weren't high.
great song - the peterson girls are soooooo energetic and talented - hoffs is better than ok - but it is Michael Steeles driving jazz oriented bass that MAKES this song [mind you i am a bass player so a little prejudiced!! LOL]
She’s right up front. Playing the tambourine. 🤣 Truth is, the producer replaced her with a drum machine in the studio so she never played the song live, she always came out front and played tambourine or something.
@@djp928 Speaking of playing the tambourine, you should check out Stevie Nicks joining Bob Welch on 'Ebony Eyes'. No one ever had more fun playing a tambourine. There's a clip from a stadium show in '78 and from The Roxy in '81.
Michael? She is laughing because the rest of the band is lip synching and not really playing. She's the only one, and that's the "Jewish smirk" I've come to know so well...
1:02-1:04 - Get a load of her reaction while singing her verse after someone throws a garment from the audience onto her mic stand. And she doesn’t miss a beat. Priceless! 🤣 A true professional. Love her! 😃
They used a drum machine when recording the song. And the drummer didn't get to sing a verse. This led to her quitting the band. (She later rejoined I think.)
I know exactly what you all feel - I was 16 to 26 during the 80s. The 80s were a cultural phenomenon - the music and the artists were hot. We had a blast during the go-go 80s; and when we went out we went out in style. Both men and women were dressed well.
Absolutely Love Micki , Vicki is really Cool tool ( Lead Guitar ) But Micki is My Favorite - Love how she dances around, kinda like slides her feet around really smooth. Micki===> IS Awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Daryl Hansen So true ,my Favorite Bangle is Miki the most talented of the 4 of them . Where the others are running around ,not our girl she glides across the stage like the beautiful lady she is. xx
Yea, she has grown on me over the decades. I was smitten first by Vicki, then Susanna, now I appreciate Micki after learning more about her musical career. She been through it, dealing with divas and a lowlife manager with The Runaways, then playing for various groups, then dealing with more divas and close knit sisters in The Bangles. She says she struggled with demands and pressures of touring. With her disappearance, you wonder if she has had bi-polar issues to deal with.
Yeah, when I was a spotty teen I was all about Suzy Hoffs, but it's only after revisiting the band recently I realised how bloody gorgeous and talented Steele is.
@@strawberryseason lololol that was a massive pair of underwear, he must have weighed 800lbs! Lol no way that's undies, had to have been a shirt or something
Not only where they talented, they were total babes and all of therm had stage presence. Things that many singers don't have. So glad they were a part of the soundtrack of my life
All these ladies are great musiciand and so beautiful. Everyone is al always all over Susanna Hoffs, but really Vicki Peterson is the hottest imho. Look how in she's into it man, rocking out. I can't take my eyes off her!
Hoffs is by far the hottest. It's a shame they didn't manage their fame and relationships better. They needed each other for success and when they folded we all missed out on what could have been.
October 1986, I was here! Ironically, It's the "Syria Mosque" Neither Egyptian or Syrian... Built by the Shriners in 1911, Sadly this badassed concert venue became an empty lot in the early 1990s. 😞. This may have been it's last nationally known show. (at least it's on film!).
Michael Steele was the best...at 0:31 she goes all punk, giving that "I don´t care" look, then at 0:53 announcing HER TURN and laughing at the piece of men´s clothing on her mic stand, yet still keeping that steady beat
At the time of this performance, Saturday, 12/13/86, “Walk Like an Egyptian” had just reached No. 1 on the Hot 100! In the newly published issue of Billboard magazine, for the week ending 12/20/86, it became the first No. 1 by an all female band. The Go-Go’s had gotten to No. 2 with “We Got the Beat” in 1982, but the Bangles were the first to go all the way. And to date, the only other No. 1 by a female band has been “Eternal Flame” by ... you know who. That Bangles ballad spent the week ending 4/1/89 at the top.
Just curious - has anyone has checked with Gen Z to see if this is offensive to Egyptians? Not only that, but this is a song by an all-girl group that doesn't make one single reference in "celebration" of their lady parts. Perhaps we will have to change the lyrics to "WAP like an Egyptian" to spare The Bangles from possible cancelation.
I was literally just thinking the exact same thing. The total role reversal of it all. Those guys in the front row was totally awestruck. It's pretty awesome. Pretty much every all-girl band today is self-consciously trying NOT to appeal to men, mostly in order to prove some kind of feminist street cred.
I wrote this in several places, but imho this is the summary of girlsband through time 80s "Being in love is awesome" 90s "Being in love is rebelious" 00s "Being in love sucks" 10s "Who needs to be in love ?" And for the 20s Im predicting "Being in love is sexist"
Like a lot of people ,.. gotta love Micki/Michael Steele - Bass Player,.. Vicki & Debbie Peterson & Susanna Hoffs too Wish they had this Concert on DVD & CD - That would Be a BIG SELLER. Also Watch Micki Crack a BIG Smile when some guy throws a shirt to her and it ends up going right on the Mic Stand :-) Gotta Love That Split in her Skirt - Clean up to her Hip :-)
I had an egyptian friend that heard this song and was pissed he said "where in the hell did they get that idea that egyptians walk like this?" I said "you have never seen hierglyphics? thats the egyptian they were talking about.
Ahhhhh!!!? The Syria Mosque. Many great concerts there. Even saw Sam Kinnison there. Mmmmm!! My ass is still there somewhere. Darn it Sam, see what You made me do from laughing so hard!!!!
I like Micki's way of Dancing - sliding her feet sort of, and in another song at this concert her and Susanna team up playing Close Side by Side - In the song Return Post
It really doesn't matter which bits of this are mimed or prerecorded or whether some guys in the audience are there to "drool". This is a fucking masterpiece. It's a song that transcended everything and ironically is one of those tracks that feels like it has always existed in the human psyche and The Bangles just excavated it. Utterly brilliant.
The song was written entirely (lyrics and music both) by a man named Liam Sternberg. He deserves mention if we’re talking about how legendary this song is. Not to take anything away from the Bangles performance of it, but if anyone is to be credited with excavating a song that has always existed in the human psyche, it’s Liam.
Lord knows I spilled a ton of seed in my teens lusting over Susanna Hoffs. In my eyes, she was without question the sexiest woman I'd ever seen in my life.
That's why my first girlfriend ever - god may bless her soul - looked pretty much exactly like Susanna Hoffs. She even was just as tiny (but she wore higher heels). :-D ... and BTW: Hoffs still looks just as gorgeous (if not more) today in 2020.
goosebumps. twice during this song/video. realizing i hated this song when this came out and my brother had it on endless repeats. guess he was right with this one ;-)
"Incredible"????Who was playing the drums????Certainly not the "drummer". Super Fake band. Dumbass horny guys would couldn't get laid in a whorehouse like this "band".
PC USER no idea who they are, I just recognize the song from the credits of Jojo’s, but I do know that being really relentlessly negative is kinda annoying
Time Mark 2:31 of the video is where you could fall in Love with Susanna Hoffs. That smile and those EYES!!! In 1986 there were 20 guys in the dorm lounge waiting for that moment in the video when she looked at you!!!!
I've always loved how rocked out this performance is. Lead guitarist Vicki Peterson especially makes it that way. The Bangles' hit Simon & Garfunkel cover "Hazy Shade of Winter" is another of their great straight-ahead rock tracks that they also sound awesome doing live.
It's unfortunate that the record producer didn't like Debbi's singing and cut her role out of the song. In another video Debbi discusses how she has horrible memories of WLAE and it's the band's least favorite.
This song rocks hard. The drums... the monotone chords. The restraint, the dynamics... the mixture of melody and chaos. I reckon the Bangles listened to Sonic Youth... Always remember them as a catchy pop group. Never realized til now how much power and talent they had.
They are still great live (even w/o Michael Steele). Saw them last year in Atlanta with my daughter and going with my wife on 8/24 in Annapolis, MD. They play a lot of their old stuff live now, like Real World. That is an awesome song. Check it out.
This song promotes stereotypes such as cops in donut shops, blonde waitresses (too dumb for other jobs), and school kids sick of books. If I was a blonde female police officer who likes to read, I'de be pretty offended. If I was Egyptian, I'de be ok with this cultural appropriation. "Everyone should walk like me", I would think to myself.

The Bangles: Just one reason why the 80's were totally awesome.
@George Blue: Another reason... SCANDAL w/Patty Smyth :):):)
Agree, 80s was the era of good talents
The modern freaks are calling 80s kids "boomers" LMAOOOO
Goodbye to you-oo
IM Russsian . i still use my car aston martin model DB II (11) in Thailand with its song , but im old men ))))) hihihi if i crazy start. i have family rus . but i like. this song
“ Okay, my turn!” They’re so cool
Michael Steele, the one who said that, is my favorite Bangle
I have a thing for red haired girls and she is my favorite since we met in the Runaways days!
Michael Stelle being Mike
Huh?
@@gogoyubari366 ?
34 years later and I still watch this. July, 2020. Never get tired seeing The Bangles at the height of their performing lives. 💖
comin atcha jan 19, 2022 song, band still rocks!!
Good God.
Hard to believe it's 34 (now 36 almost) years ago.
I recall that this song took off like a rocket in 1986, and felt kind of like a standard all by itself.
And oh yes. Any guess as to which "garment" that might have been, aimed so perfectly for such a soft landing precisely on that mic stand? The heavenly bliss of live.
ABSOFORNICATINGLUTLY!! This is the very best video and audio rendition of this song.

Once in an interview they said, they got underwear thrown at them ...used underwear...
Michael Steele is awesome! Wish I would have made that show . . . was out of town for work. Syria Mosque is a great venue. Bangles rock!
@@vanatic22 was a great venue....
@@simoesc and they still held the beat. They really got the beat lol
@@vanatic22 to throw under garments at that. Is that what ya boys wanted to do
Loved this group and that smile and those eyes on Susanna Hoffs, OMG!
The look she gives Michael when the T-shirt flies up on the stage LOL
Before the world forgot how to have fun.
O K MY T U R N
Man I miss the days when you could lean on the stage watching your favorite bands. Rock and roll has become way too structured, I would go back to the 80s in a second.
You can still do that...rock is very much alive and well in smaller venues and in clubs. Pop music is way too structured, rock isn’t. Peace.
I was so close to the Beach Boys that Al stuck his Mic in my face and I sang 1 line of Help me Rhonda.
Probably the best female rock group of all time. They all sing and play their own instruments. To this day as seniors they still look pretty wear mini skirts and sound great.
The go gos might give them competition for best female band
That's got to be Fanny. Those girls rocked!
That would be Zepperella. But I like the Bangles.
It’s impossible not to love this song and this band
Just the energy radiating from them, the whole place is jumping. These four women were off the charts talented and gorgeous.
The most silly ass song I've heard in my life and yet I love it
Steve martin doing king tut comes to mind
Dude the fact that you call this song silly shows what generation your NOT. No one who was alive in the 80's would say that.
@@Malcontent- i agree
@@Malcontent- Agreed, its considred one of the best songs of all time, and in the top 10 best pop songs in history!
It definitely is silly, but so well done. I mean, after all what pop-rock music isn’t silly?
Vickey Peterson in that red dress, 🔥🔥🔥
That's a lot of woman
Vicky Peterson with the best legs :-)
Yep I agree, hell of a set of legs. The seamed hose are a great touch. I always had a thing for her too.
You and me both
So did ya throw clothes at them too. Just curious as to what all commotion was about then?!?!
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!!
And it was met with incredible crowd-energy.
The band really looked like they were enjoying themselves onstage.
Yeah, what a performance by all the background players we don't see, doing the main parts. And that drum machine-BRAVO!
LMFAO
@@tomthalon8956Even if that’s true, what does it matter? The crowd love what they see and the band are giving the audience a great show.
Watch their reunion concerts. Awful. Limp, empty, Bangles Exposed. And talk a bout stiff and forced. Not a happy bunch. Ooooof@@duncanbick6732
I had no idea they played like this, very impressive.
Back in the day one of the best shows you could catch.....louder than loud.....
J - wow dude...
They play like since day 1
God did i have a crush on Vicki and her cute little red gogo dress with fishnets and clunky boots. Her energy running around with that giuitar - mad crush for her at 17. Shes still beautiful
Totally agree, and she is still hot tday
Why cant we have this now, im so sad that i missed out😭
I close my eyes and this song brings me back to my college dorm room. 80's music RULES!
More Invisible Drummers, guess you gotta save $$ where you can
2:41 Ladys and Gentlemen we have the best smile of all time
💋👄👅
Couldn't agree more!!! Gorgeous smile!!!😍😍😍
Golden Dynamic stfu
I would also direct your attention to 2:33
Gorgeous!!!
I love the 1986 Pittsburgh crowd in their dockers and sweaters!
Drum machine was TOO Fast on this song!!!
It's giving me a headache 😫🌋😱
Is there anything better to watch than 4 beautiful women rocking out? maybe 5 women haha
B Right Yup, the Bangles, and Vixen too, I could watch and listen to them all day long!
Sure Susanna counts as two
personally i'd prefer to see the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, or Lynard Skynard at the Oakland Coliseum, Queen at Live Aid, Early AC/DC anywhere frankly, Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park, The Stones in Hyde Park, Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight festival or U2 at Red Rocks. But yeah, these girls rocked it pretty hard for a while..
@@johnc3403 I'd prefer to see a lingerie-pillow fight between The Bangles and The Go-Gos.
Yes, watching them in the correct aspect ratio.
All four of them were really good vocalists. Too bad so much focus fell on Susanna.
Note how that mistake was not made with Spice Girls, but note also how Spice Girls couldn't play a note or compose a word.

“Ok my turn!”
I love everything about this performance
Especially the bassist
& especially lead guitarist but actually everything
Now that’s how to entertain a crowd!! The best female band ever! 👍👍

Those drums are phenomenal. Especially since they are playing themselves.

Not only that, but this is a song by an all-girl group that doesn't make one single reference in "celebration" of their lady parts. Perhaps we will have to change the lyrics to "WAP like an Egyptian" to spare The Bangles from possible cancelation.
Interesting perspective of an all-girl band performing in front of GUYS who are drooling over them... Coo.
I was literally just thinking the exact same thing. The total role reversal of it all. Those guys in the front row was totally awestruck. It's pretty awesome.
Pretty much every all-girl band today is self-consciously trying NOT to appeal to men, mostly in order to prove some kind of feminist street cred.
I wrote this in several places, but imho this is the summary of girlsband through time
80s "Being in love is awesome"
90s "Being in love is rebelious"
00s "Being in love sucks"
10s "Who needs to be in love ?"
And for the 20s Im predicting "Being in love is sexist"
@@KISSbestfan Sadly, you're probably right.
I'm drooling too :-D
@@saturninojosesuarezquintan9424 Quien no lo haría con estas bellas y talentosas mujeres, hermosuras.
Like a lot of people ,.. gotta love Micki/Michael Steele - Bass Player,.. Vicki & Debbie Peterson & Susanna Hoffs too Wish they had this Concert on DVD & CD - That would Be a BIG SELLER. Also Watch Micki Crack a BIG Smile when some guy throws a shirt to her and it ends up going right on the Mic Stand :-) Gotta Love That Split in her Skirt - Clean up to her Hip :-)
Are you sure that is a shirt? :-D
Daryl Hansen It is available on DVD
They were SO good Live!
"Live".
has been widely documented that they played their own instruments.
plus its like 4 chords.
*****
Yes, especially the Tambourine is super live.
yeah if you go to a concert for live tambourine playing, that is your own perilous journey pal.
I had an egyptian friend that heard this song and was pissed he said "where in the hell did they get that idea that egyptians walk like this?" I said "you have never seen hierglyphics? thats the egyptian they were talking about.
@Andres Porras damn
@Andres Porras
Many Egyptians seem have the misconception that they're smarter than they really are.
Ahhhhh!!!? The Syria Mosque. Many great concerts there. Even saw Sam Kinnison there. Mmmmm!! My ass is still there somewhere. Darn it Sam, see what You made me do from laughing so hard!!!!
I like Micki's way of Dancing - sliding her feet sort of, and in another song at this concert her and Susanna team up playing Close Side by Side - In the song Return Post
It really doesn't matter which bits of this are mimed or prerecorded or whether some guys in the audience are there to "drool". This is a fucking masterpiece. It's a song that transcended everything and ironically is one of those tracks that feels like it has always existed in the human psyche and The Bangles just excavated it. Utterly brilliant.
That crowd is rightly losing their shit over it.
PhysicsParty probably they don’t care about the song they perform only to see the bangles beauty
And Hoffs bit is steaming
@@johnsonjohnson429 yeah they are indeed.
The song was written entirely (lyrics and music both) by a man named Liam Sternberg. He deserves mention if we’re talking about how legendary this song is. Not to take anything away from the Bangles performance of it, but if anyone is to be credited with excavating a song that has always existed in the human psyche, it’s Liam.
Lord knows I spilled a ton of seed in my teens lusting over Susanna Hoffs. In my eyes, she was without question the sexiest woman I'd ever seen in my life.
Po1itica11yNcorrect Not many come so close to perfection to me.
That's why my first girlfriend ever - god may bless her soul - looked pretty much exactly like Susanna Hoffs. She even was just as tiny (but she wore higher heels). :-D
... and BTW: Hoffs still looks just as gorgeous (if not more) today in 2020.
goosebumps. twice during this song/video. realizing i hated this song when this came out and my brother had it on endless repeats. guess he was right with this one ;-)
Michael Steele's voice. awesome.
Thump that Ax Ms. Steele! All the way from Memphis, Tn., Great Job Ms. Steele!
WOW! This performance was really good! I'd no idea they were this good live. Rock & Roll girls!! WOO HOO!!
Everyone's drooling over Susanna Hoffs but I'm here for Vicki Peterson
Damn girls you rocked it. Had massive crush of every band member when I was in high school back in 80's.
I don't feel that they ever got the credit for what incredible musicians they were.
They were a fairly tight foursome alright and very dynamic on stage. I don't know about incredible, but they certainly very good musicians.
Incredible is reaching, competent is more like it.
I don't think they realize how awesome they are!
"Incredible"????Who was playing the drums????Certainly not the "drummer". Super Fake band. Dumbass horny guys would couldn't get laid in a whorehouse like this "band".
They're playing over a backing track of the song
Theses babes KNOCK me OUT !!! having so much FUN ! how brilliant .......thanks Bangles + thanks for UTUBE !!!
2:11 I love that bass part
THE BOB DUNCAN EXPIRIENCE BADASS PROFILE PICTURE
Rock 'n' roll ladies of the eighties really knew how to rock!
Correction they only knew how to act and look good acting they were el fake o
PC USER come on man, let people enjoy things
CCuppy lmfao feel the butthurt your whole life’s been a facade 🤣🤣🤣
PC USER no idea who they are, I just recognize the song from the credits of Jojo’s, but I do know that being really relentlessly negative is kinda annoying
@@justaman5418 Being butthurt is tight!
Time Mark 2:31 of the video is where you could fall in Love with Susanna Hoffs. That smile and those EYES!!! In 1986 there were 20 guys in the dorm lounge waiting for that moment in the video when she looked at you!!!!
I'm a pure rock guy - but Bangles are great. Fun, way talented and make infectious music and add to it by their performances. Love these ladies.
I've always loved how rocked out this performance is. Lead guitarist Vicki Peterson especially makes it that way. The Bangles' hit Simon & Garfunkel cover "Hazy Shade of Winter" is another of their great straight-ahead rock tracks that they also sound awesome doing live.
Oh weh OH!! If this is an example of how a Bangles concert was - wow!! I am duly impressed!
Best thing: no one has an phones they are holding up recording it...they are actually enjoying the moment!
Life was better back then.
@@gandolfogeraci8368 We have really fucked things up for ourselves.
I love how they take turns singing... It's cute
It's unfortunate that the record producer didn't like Debbi's singing and cut her role out of the song. In another video Debbi discusses how she has horrible memories of WLAE and it's the band's least favorite.
I love that UA-cam’s algorithm mainly recommends Jojo videos from this because of all of us savage Jojo fans
Hey nice to see you here Cameron
I would have loved to be in the first row! The estrogen would have driven me crazy!
Susana Hoffs is my dream !!!
Even got her guitar !
Is it really 30 years ago ? I can´t believe it. Are the girls still making music ?
Dam this is some Great Talent...👌
These Women Beautiful all Natural!
I remember my Mom & aunts playing this when I was a Kid Loving it!🔥👈👏👏
This live version is just on another level. It must have been great to be at that concert.
Nothing better than a beautaful woman that can play a guitar!!!!!
Where is this beautiful woman at ? Between all.of them it still wont make a 10 sorry

@@thomastoal2892 i didnt care for yours either Mr Bojangles
This song rocks hard. The drums... the monotone chords. The restraint, the dynamics... the mixture of melody and chaos. I reckon the Bangles listened to Sonic Youth... Always remember them as a catchy pop group. Never realized til now how much power and talent they had.
the drums…lol. which band member do you think is playing the tambourine? note the empty drumset
This is the only true live version I could find on UA-cam. They are actually singing this live. Sweet.
Another live version from the 80s is from the Late Show with Joan Rivers.
+Mainerelics ok thanks I'll check it out.
+Mainerelics Thanks for telling me about that. Interviews and 2 songs. Was great... and live!
They are still great live (even w/o Michael Steele). Saw them last year in Atlanta with my daughter and going with my wife on 8/24 in Annapolis, MD. They play a lot of their old stuff live now, like Real World. That is an awesome song. Check it out.
Mainerelics Michael made a huge difference in the sound positively
Awwww Michael is really cute trying to suppress the laugh!
who?
@@RockNRoller66 Michael Steele, the bassist
This song promotes stereotypes such as cops in donut shops, blonde waitresses (too dumb for other jobs), and school kids sick of books. If I was a blonde female police officer who likes to read, I'de be pretty offended. If I was Egyptian, I'de be ok with this cultural appropriation. "Everyone should walk like me", I would think to myself.
1986, I was in the army and I´ve heard this song very first time. I had no idea about the band, but i like that. It was love on first sight :-)
That crowd was my people, nerdy young good looking preppy peeps not a care in the world, having fun, sweating in sweat shirts, mid 80's dance moves
brad lafferty and NO PHONES to distract them
